English Heritage is exploring the stories of historical figures with both visible and hidden impairments and considering the impacts disability had on their lives. The London blue plaques scheme was started in 1866 and is thought to be the oldest of its kind in the world. Across the capital over 950 plaques, on buildings humble and grand, honour the notable men and women who have lived or worked in them.
